appeared on his exclusive show for our team you can find the full interview and the details on our website. rock obama's rival for the u.s. presidency mitt romney has called for a more aggressive foreign policy in the middle east which would include arming the al-qaeda linked syrian rebels the democrats have hit back saying romney stance lacks vision and consistency are just vanished account has more. mitt romney accused president obama of quote sitting on the sidelines end of quote and not being aggressive enough on syria mr romney suggests actively arming the rebels with weapons that can bring down air profitable wapping he said quote the greater tragedy of it all is that we're missing a story coppertone a t two when new friends who share our values in the middle east end of quote i saw this clip the other day and i wonder if this particular syrian rebel shares mitt romney's values but do i just want to send the message to america

and the infidel countries of the west we started and she had found so we shall we won't finish and she was and you know. and then on as we go. into the new land and this time and i was raised on the long time well that was a jihadi flag there but mitt romney's other remarks suggested that maybe he doesn't really care about whose hands the weapons would end up in because the objective that he stated was to defeat assad seeing it as a stepping stone to him rend iran is sending arms to assad because they know his downfall would be a strategic defeat for them we should be working no less vigorously to our international partners to support the many syrians who would deliver that defeat to iran rather than sitting on the sidelines so basically mitt romney suggested taking advantage of the crisis in syria to fulfill the goal of defeating iran.

but straightforward remark basically expressing the same opportunistic approach to foreign policy with the us has had for many years well obama campaign called romney reckless and amateurish when it comes to foreign policy so far the administration has stopped short of directly arming the rebels although washington is coordinating the efforts of their allies in the region that is saudi arabia qatar turkey which are providing weapons to the rebels one way or another but those allies are saying . that they only provide smaller weapons that they would love to send heavy artillery but they don't have the green light from washington for that because reportedly the administration fears that the weapons might end up in the hands of terrorist experts say one of the reasons why the rebels are not settling down for a negotiated solution for dialogue is the signal that they get that sense that support is on the way that there will be an intervention and everybody now understands without a negotiated solution bloodshed will continue. meanwhile the b.b.c. film crew in syria has discovered the rebels are in possession of crates of weapons

meant for the saudi military surgeons refused to comment on having bought the shipment and gave no permission to film its contents this comes amid escalating fighting across the country was bomb blasts and firefights in damascus and turkey is stepping up its war rhetoric after six consecutive days of returning fire with syria in response to shelling that some speculate as a provocation by the rebels but it will analyst dan glazebrook says the insurgents are desperate for foreign intervention. so it's their mistakes alone on this bid to oust. because these guys own reasons for doing this on the one hand they're trying to give cover over to the rebels to continue their fight they know that the rebels again defeated on the ground so they're bombarding syria as a way to help the rebels not lose too many of their positions but i think also wants to please is kind of. nato nato monsters in his bid to join the e.u.

so he's been willing to do the bidding in europe and the u.s. britain france and the u.s. they may be helping the hoping that they can somehow time knowledge made into taking action as well prompting a kind of the blitzkrieg is that she the only thing really that would enable the rebels where now at this. fireworks jubilation and a fiesta atmosphere right now in venezuela this only means one thing president which of us is there to stay and so are he's plans for how to handle the country's economy including its enormous oil reserves and as confident reports it's a strong reason for some painful headaches in the west. six years up to the top it may be at odds with a liberation with the borders as one party that one treats we're. only here. to join in on. it. it's

a victory that supporters say has implications far beyond this country's borders talley's chavez is the father of south america all the presidents are friends among each other latin america understand i understand the significance of chavis for the world that's rising up and it's nice for the world of equality of the world without part without the gemini if you wish and that's precisely what makes many western governments nervous venezuela could be an example for other countries i mean here you have a country that is saying that the polarization of wealth which we see not just in one country not just in two countries but globally is completely toxic and must be addressed and that there must be a redistribution of wealth this is antithetical to what's been known as the washington consensus so in that sense the. president chavez and is as a threat a threat that doesn't just hurt washington's influence but its coffers under chavez

venezuela has refused to act as a market for u.s. based private investment and no longer can u.s. oil firms rely on the country as a stable source of cheap crude venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves chavez has promised to ramp up production and slash this country's dependence on u.s. markets by doubling exports to asia according to the president and that is why he represents a threat to the west. from the economic point of view we have the largest petroleum reserve is highly world when the world runs out of oil and money and five countries which possess the majority of reserves were me i am i was a russia iran saudi arabia iraq and iran where. it's black gold can account for the vilification of chavez in the west after all just a year after he took office in one thousand nine hundred nine chavez toured the middle east to lobby key opec members to drive oil prices higher he also provided subsidized oil to cuba bella bruce nicaragua and syria countries whose relations

with the west aren't exactly ideal for critics venezuela under chavez is a terrifying prospect. i think chavez has mostly criticized for his foreign policy first for breaking relations with traditional trade partners of venezuela such as colombia and the us and second for political alliances with countries which are considered as non-democratic and even belligerent in their foreign policy such as cuba and even more so iran. chavez says his world view is just one that the west is going to have to get used to i wonder how they see that in american. world island and remember that end of history by an american francis fukuyama venezuela's rose against new liberalism twenty years ahead of the europe you know which is happening now and venezuela did not need the i.m.f. we're not a world power yet. the part of the power of the next six years play out one thing's

doing business in america and you report warns dad the equipment made by telecom giant and the manufacturers used by beijing to spy on the u.s. two firms have struck bad saying the document is actually a network hampering them competing on the american market why annual sales totaled over thirty two billion dollars with one point three billion in u.s. alone and the remains among the top suppliers of telecom gear and mobile phones tim carr a senior director of strategy for free press says the rao could backfire on the united states. it's interesting to note that most computer equipment most telecommunications could mint is in fact made in china increasingly china is a player in the technology space and their ability to create cheap manufactured products should pose a threat to business interests overseas business not so much a national security threat politics definitely comes into play here seen in both

the romney and obama campaign an effort to get tough against china this could very well be an outgrowth of that but also of concern is the idea of the marketplace for cyber security with their estimates that i've seen it but this in multibillion dollar business so it's in the interest of lot of these companies that provide cyber security services to inflate the fear it helps businesses that sell cyber security systems that sell systems that will allow us to protect against these alleged attacks it helps them make money so potential for this to have a blowback effect on the united states you look at american companies like cisco systems which is very invested in in growing its business in china usually what happens when you have these kind of international controversies if the u.s. acts against a chinese company you could very well see the chinese government act against a u.s. company on its own turf. they are opinion has proved to be a real magnet for ukraine's migrant workers was one in tandem cranes employed in the bloc countries but as some e.u.

nations to sand further into recession many are heading back home feeling the time has come to find a better life there investigates the reverse in the trends. and so you are goes to villages with empty houses and few people on the street a common sight for western ukraine and it's not the result of any disaster almost every family in the west of ukraine has a member working abroad ever since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. ukraine has been one of the main suppliers of cheap labor force into the european union as it stands over four million ukrainians are currently working in europe that's every tenth citizen of the country but this is changing yuri worked in spain for almost a decade before escaping the financial crisis and resettling back home at times he indulges in some gastronomically. and make spanish style salami at home but yuri says there is no going back. i made good use of the money. i

bought several stools and currently lease them i also bought a house twenty five kilometers from revolve if i stayed in spain i would have to work like a slave to something here i can enjoy life many of my friends who stayed in spain are now out of work and planning to come back to. and he's far from the only one the real estate market in western ukraine is seeing a boom in property sales all thanks to those running away from the collapsing euro zone and i think a lot of people they may have thought of buying houses in the e.u. but they're seeing how the crisis plagues those countries and on returning home of all real estate property sold last year almost a quarter of the guys were returned migrants they mostly buy two to three room apartment with up to one thousand euros in the last two three months alone more than a thousand families both flats here which makes around

a hundred million euros worth of investment into property in just one of ukrainian regions the overall sum of european money ending up in ukrainian spoke it is even more astonishing last year ukraine was able to receive up to seven billion years dollars from the ukrainian currently working abroad and that's coming from the country's worst affected by the financial crisis spain italy and portugal where many businesses have grown reliant on migrant ukrainian workers you might think they're returning home should benefit both sides but in reality economists believe this may spell trouble for ukraine amount of remittances we usually receive from the. front seven billion i would expect that this year should be on the level of five billion they tional supply of labor coming from e.u. countries to ukraine is needed to be supported and it's additional pressure for the

ukrainian budget which is quite difficult to do when you have a limited amount of resources but yuri says even if the labor market goes into meltdown it would not be as bad as it could have been if you stayed in spain the money he brought back has made him completely self-sufficient and immune from being and wanted either at home or a brooch. reporting from ukraine. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world north korea says it has a ballistic missiles capable of hitting u.s. bases not only on the korean peninsula but also in japan and even on america's territory the statements was made by the countries the fans committee in response to the new deal struck between washington and so they greenock stands a range of south korea's ballistic missiles by more than twice the current limit making it illegal to strike the north at previous arms pacts with washington barred

the south from deploying long range rockets leaving many targets in the communist state out of reach. egypt's president morsi has granted pardons to old prisoners charged with supporting the revolution four thousand people were arrested and put on trial at the beginning of the uprising which resulted in morsi taking up office this summer the decrees expected to cover all cases related to clashes with security forces during last year's violent protests however it's unclear how many people will benefit from it. turkish jets have struck suspected kurdish rebels in two cross border raids in northern iraq the iraqi government responded by saying the airstrikes were a violation of the country's sovereignty kurdish rebels are fighting for autonomy in the south east of turkey and often use iraq as a springboard for attacks baghdad recently warned turkey against further military operations on his territory. right straight to the world of business where he has got all the latest as always and there's been

a new downgrade from what i understand which country was at this time arena that's exactly. what was the gorgeous island of cyprus has downgraded its bond ratings and also gave and negative outlook well to give you more details the agency says the move into profound difficulties in the clintons there. is the result of the right and conditions of the group. cyprus of course is the main hall for rational happened so last month moscow will join new countries to help the island which is right now sitting as one of twenty billion euros in aid. and moving on that the speed to. be the russian british to aventura now has a need to it's because the russian co-owners are now considering their stake and this would go through either an i.p.o. or to a strategic investor again there we know that of course they had this would happen

the u.s. government has been taken by surprise by the recent wave of anti-american violence one fold in thrall to muslim countries following its role in the arab revolutions washington was expecting more gratitude does the poor from the nations involved but they do you ask have sufficient cultural and social understanding of the region and on the societies of the countries they work into vinnie to discuss that not only that we are now joined by sociologists and they had of london school of economics

great calhoun thank you very much for being with us my pleasure so what do you think was the kind of miscalculation of the u.s. government people in the united states and in the west generally were enthusiastic and imagined it was all about you it was about facebook it was about tweets on twitter and it was about the definition of democracy it is common in the west but in fact it was also about strengthening different countries trying to establish rights for a wide range of people not only those who are sympathetic to the west but the whole population the americans who are stranded in the first place were indeed taken by surprise and when we say did they know we have to ask do we mean by they did some experts working in parts of the universities in the united states or in the intelligence no more than some politicians of course i think that the pope.
